Directs DEP to develop guidelines concerning State and local government purchase of goods made from recycled material.

Summary

The bill orders the Department of Environmental Protection to develop, and update as needed, recommended recycled‑material content percentages for purchases made by state and local governments. Agencies must use these guidelines in new procurement specifications where practical, but existing contracts and projects that would be delayed or cost more may be exempt. The goal is to increase the use of recycled products, including compost, in public purchases.
